“Le Chateau Frontenac is undeniably Quebec City's landmark address, steeped in history and boasting stunning views of the St. Lawrence; it's easy to see why so many are drawn to its architectural grandeur and prime location near the city's main attractions. However, whispers of inconsistent service and dated rooms suggest that the 'castle' may rely more on its reputation than current-day delivery, so manage your expectations or perhaps visit for the history, but stay elsewhere.”
